What is new ? Do not see any difference with a positional progression excercise.

Wow very impressive. But isn't analysing Arteta's tactics no the brightest thing to do with a big game on the horizon

Arsenal need to coordinate their press better than they did in the final. It starts with Gyokeres to dictate, and the wide players need to find their reference points, whether that is on City's first line of the build or the right winger (Saka in example below) taking O'Reilly.

Why sign both Alexander Isak & Hugo Ekitike? How might they fit into the same Liverpool team? 🔴 1️⃣ Rotation both players sharing minutes in-game & game-to-game, spreading the 3 x 100 mins Liverpool regularly play now each week 2️⃣ Isak central & Ekitike left? clip below from The Shape on The Anfield Wrap with Neil Atkinson debating this option 3️⃣ Both central (less likely) — similar to Brighton: wingers high & wide, central attackers dropping in then spinning CBs. Last season a lot of Hudl Statsbomb pass networks showed Díaz & Szoboszlai central ahead of Mac Allister & Gravenberch, but not as high as the wide players — very Brighton-like.

Liverpools flexible 4-2-3-1 system in possession ⚽️⚫️🟡 🔴Goalkeeper exceptional in possession 🔴Centre backs providing solid base in first phase 🔴Fullbacks pushing on to create 2-3-5 at times 🔴Double pivot in midfield with one player providing shield with the other being more box to box and supporting attacking line 🔴Salah has positional freedom to move across front line, drop deep or stretch game 🔴Full backs can Underlap and provide good wide connections with forwards 🔴Macallister can move out wide to create wide overloads

#Liverpool use of central oriented 4-back in Open-Play The concept implemented by Arne #Slot: Idea is to attract centrally with central FB positioning > FBs position centrally to create space wide & behind opposing midfield while maintaining protection vs potential transitions

Hexagons and Octagons Those who follow football and coaching will be well aware that there are trends that emerge and become the great break through in coaching, only to vanish quite quickly. A few stick around and become a staple. Such as the rondo, or the 4v4+4 Guardiola rondo variation. One that did not stick around in the coaching collective consciousness that possible should have was Thomas Tuchel’s use of hexagonal and octagonal playing areas in training sessions. Tuchel explained that cutting off the corners and angling the pitch forced “sharp diagonal” passes that would help break the press. The positioning of players outside the hexagon/octagon or players close to the edges will be manipulated into an open body shape by the angles of the pitch. Players are impacted by environmental constraints and embodied cognition, where the geography of the playing area influences their actions. This influence spreads to the creation of triangles and diamonds within the playing area due to the “funnel” like nature of the playing area. We can use the cut outside angles by placing bounce or target players on the exterior, influencing the movement and organisation internally. The inside players will not have to move wide as those areas are occupied. The internal players will seek to create passing angles using the positioning of the outside players and their internal team mates. The diamonds and triangles will appear. If we leave the spaces on the outside empty players can move to fill the spaces. These act as free spaces to receive from the goalkeeper or open spaces for attackers to overlap into, encouraging attacking combination play and crosses. A different way of using the space is to remove goals and goalkeepers from the ends and place bounce/target players on the outside. Players now can combine with the outside players, when they do so they are then free to finish into the outside goals. The condition can be extended to combining with the target player in the opposite side of the pitch before scoring, adding an element of switching play. The hexagon and octagon are versatile spaces that help to replicate aspects of the game. By funneling the spaces we impact players body shape, ability to play forward quickly, team shape (or small group shapes), players cutting in, defending centrally, the types of combination used and the angles of line breaking pass (diagonals). The angles are hugely significant for teams that value combinations and possession football, Straight passes and receiving angles are much easier to intercept and carry high risks for being counter attacked. Short diagonals can bypass players and attacking shapes, creating angled connections. If an angles pass is given away there is still a risk of being counter attacked but there is more chance of having players around the ball to regain possession. To counter press. The question that emerges is should we then be using hexagons and octagons more? If they are of greater benefit than squares and rectangles, why use them? Should all pitches, including those of a small sided nature be hexagonal? Can the rondo square be replaced by the rondo octagon?

🚨 Use DIRECTIONAL RUNS to score EASY GOALS in FC26 To perform: 1. Press L1 to trigger the run 2. Flick the RS in the direction you want Levi de Weerd shows a perfect example here of how to attack space with the directional run here. He first sends his winger on a run in behind then player locks to drop the ST deep. His opponent reacts well by tracking the run but he also holds R1 to 2nd man press the ball, leaving space in behind the CB, where Levi will flick the RS for the winger to take that space inside. First time through ball with Vitinha and it’s an easy 1v1 with the GK. This also work really well when you trigger a central player like a ST or CAM to make a diagonal run into space out wide.

“You have to stay inside. There’s no way out inside. Don’t go outside. Someone inside, otherwise it’s impossible to play.” — Luis Enrique Simple message with relevance to the game. ⚽️ Positional practices teach real match lessons. In this 4v4 plus 2 with professional players at PSG, the message is clear. Without a central option in possession, the opposition press can be less compact and play becomes predictable in wide areas. Keep an option inside and their press tightens. When it tightens, passing lanes open. 🔓 That's learning through practice. 🎥 Instant access to 1000+ videos ⤵️ Downloadable content 💡 Tactical camera games 📋 Coach education videos Get them here 👇

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧⁉️ WINGERS AND STRIKER The icing on the cake😮‍💨 LM/RM- FUCKING ANYONE: I’ve tried so many cards any they all work well, if they’re a winger or striker they’ll do the job out there, they work with the CAMS and sit close for nice 1-2’s, one cut’s inside and the other stays wide to mix things up but both run ‘in behind’ the defense, creating a passing option for our CAM. If that’s covered then guess what? Our full back will be overlapping down the wing so we just slide them in instead! If not our striker will be running into the space behind too! ST- Again not too important who, as long as they’ve got pace to run in behind and good enough finishing you can use anyone, if they have good jumping and heading they’ll be brilliant as (stay wide & get in behind) makes them run to the back post for crosses, as well as our wingers covering for seconds! Essential, you’ve got 3/4 players running in behind in 3/4 different directions, it creates so many holes in the opponents defence Bcos the AI can’t cope🤣🤝

José Mourinho comments on strict tactical philosophies and adapting to the players. "For me it's wrong to be tied to one philosophy. One thing is for a coach to say what is ideal. I also have my ideal, and I built my ideal team when I could. But it's important for a coach to adapt to what he has. I love seeing a quality full-back coming inside to create superiority in midfield, but how many can do it? I love Hakimi projecting on the attack, attacking on the inside and scoring lots of goals when the winger is wide. Do I like that? No, I love that! But there aren't many Hakimis." Can you explain what is the big benefit from that? "A lot of things. For example, if the full-back attacks on the inside and the opposite winger tracks him back, you can have a wide winger on a 1 vs 1 situation. But a thing is to create 1 vs 1 scenarios with a winger that smashes it, another is to create a 1 vs 1 scenario with Cândido Costa (interviewer)." 😂

There has been a misconception online that we have switched to a 4-2-3-1 in the last two games. That’s not true. It’s the same 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 we have played all season. Woltemade is playing LCM. My thinking as to why it seems we aren’t is because of the freedom Eddie offers our players within the structure. Woltemade is allowed to move and receive between the lines, just like Willock (when he plays LCM) is allowed to hold width and use his pace in wide areas.

.Mina Kimes on NFL on ESPN on the Texans & CJ Stroud: “I think Houston can do a better job of supporting him this season if they can run the football better. CJ Stroud’s superpower as a QB is throwing in-breakers. Digs, crossers, slants. Last year he was 1st league wide in success rate on in-breakers, tied for 1st with Jared Goff on EPA/play. Some of that has to do with Nico Collins on the receiving end— that’s also his superpower, catching those types of passes. It’s a phenomenal skillset & one that the Texans haven’t been able to lean into, get the most out of because of the lack of an efficient, explosive running game. If they’re able to draw linebackers up there’d be voids over the middle of the field, draw safeties up, they’d face single high coverage. The Texans run game needs to be better to get the most out of CJ Stroud.”

This type of training is what we call Differential Learning (DL). Using DL for warm-ups is a highly effective strategy, as it “opens up” a player’s system degrees of freedom. It can also be an excellent tool for light training days, especially for recovery, helping players restore a wide range of movement solutions post-competition. When performing DL activities, we want to encourage as much variability as possible. A shooter may shoot out of different stances (e.g., feet wide, feet narrow, staggered, one leg), with different release speeds, varying arc heights, etc. There are an endless number of ways to do this. As the shooter performs their DL tasks, they should continually change their range and location (even if this means taking one or two steps between every shot). The passer should also pass from different angles, from different locations, and with varying velocities and spins.
